Herbicidal compositions

ABSTRACT

Herbicides containing compositions of glycolic acid amides and other active ingredients.

The present invention application relates to herbicides containing compositions of sulfonylglycolic acid amides or sulfonylglycolic acid imides.

It is known that pyridazones (German 1,105,232), benzofuranyl sulfonates (German Laid-Open Application DOS 1,926,139), benzofuranylalkylamino sulfonates (German Laid-Open Application DOS 2,324,592), azetidine carbothiolates (German Laid-Open Application DOS 2,312,045), fatty acids (German 959,066), thiol carbamates (U.S. 3,185,720; U.S. 3,330,821), carbamates (German Laid-Open Application DOS 1,567,151; German Printed Application DAS 1,137,255), pyrazolium compounds (German Laid-Open Application DOS 2,260,485), α-cyanoacrylates (German Laid-Open Application DOS 1,642,231), anilides (British 903,766) and 1,2,4-triazinones (German Laid-Open Application DOS 2,138,031) have a herbicidal action. However, this action is not always satisfactory.

We have now found that compositions of one or more of these active ingredients and sulfonylglycolic acid amides (German Laid-Open Applications DOS 2,201,432 and 2,334,715) or sulfonylglycolic acid imides (German Laid-Open Application DOS 2,219,923), which are known as individual herbicidal active ingredients, have an unforeseeably superior herbicidal action over their individual components.

These compositions consist of

A) a glycolic acid amide of the formula ##STR1## where X denotes ##STR2## R¹ denoting alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, haloalkenyl or haloalkynyl of a maximum of 6 carbon atoms, alkoxyalkyl, haloalkoxyalkyl, alkenoxyalkyl, alkynoxyalkyl or cycloalkyl, and R² denoting phenyl which may bear one or more identical or different substituents, the number of substituents, which may be halogen, lower alkyl of a maximum of 4 carbon atoms, haloalkyl, alkoxy, alkylsulfonyl, alkylaminosulfonyl, cyano, hydroxy, nitro or amino, being from 0 to 3, and the carbonamide nitrogen being a ring member of an optionally bicycic cycloalkylimine which may be substituted by halogen or lower alkyl; which may contain further hetero atoms in the ring; and which has a maximum of 9 carbon atoms, and Y denotes ##STR3## R³, R⁴, R⁵ and R⁶ denoting alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, haloalkenyl or haloalkynyl of a maximum of 8 carbon atoms, unsubstituted or substituted phenyl or cycloalkyl of a maximum of 8 carbon atoms, and R⁴ and R⁵ additionally denoting hydrogen, and

b. a pyridazone derivative of the formula ##STR4## where X denotes chloro, bromo, iodo or methoxy, R¹ denotes phenyl which may be substituted by methyl, trifluoromethyl or halogen and R² denotes amino, α-hydroxy-β,β,β-trichloroethylamino, acetylamino, haloacetylamino, methoxy, ##STR5## R³ denoting hydrogen, a cation, a substituted aliphatic amine, unsubstituted or halogen-substituted alkyl or alkenyl, unsubstituted or substituted phenyl or hydroxyethyl, R⁴ denoting hydrogen, methyl, methoxy or ethyl, R⁵ denoting methyl, ethyl or methoxy, and R⁶ denoting hydrogen or methyl, or

c. benzofuranyl sulfonate of the formula ##STR6## where R¹ denotes lower alkyl or the group ##STR7## and R² denotes lower alkyl or has the same meanings as R³ and R⁴ when R¹ is ##STR8## R³ and R⁴ denoting hydrogen or an unsubstituted or halogen- or alkoxy-substituted aliphatic radical of a maximum of 4 carbon atoms, or

d. a benzofuranylalkylamino sulfonate of the formula ##STR9## where R¹ denotes hydrogen, lower alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl, alkoxy, or radicals such as ##STR10## R⁴ denoting unsubstituted or halogen-substituted lower alkyl, R² is different from R¹ and denotes hydrogen, a cation, lower alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or the groups ##STR11## R⁴ have the above meanings, and R³ denotes hydrogen or unsubstituted or halogen-substituted lower alkyl, or

e. an azetidine carbothiolate of the formula ##STR12## where R denotes alkyl, alkenyl or benzyl which may be substituted by halogen, cyano, alkoxy or methyl, and/or

f. a carboxylic acid derivative of the formula ##STR13## which may be in the form of the free acid or salts thereof and in which R² denotes unsubstituted or halogen-substituted alkyl or benzyl, X and Y denote hydrogen or halogen, and R¹ denotes halogen, lower alkyl, haloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted benzyl, or benzamidooxy, or

g. a thiol carbamate of the formula ##STR14## where R¹ denotes lower alkyl or an unsubstituted or methyl-substituted cycloaliphatic, bicycloaliphatic or tricycloaliphatic radical, R² denotes lower alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl, R³ denotes unsubstituted or halogen-substituted alkyl, alkenyl or benzyl, and X denotes oxygen or sulfur, or

h. a carbamate of the formula ##STR15## where R¹ denotes hydrogen or methyl, R² denotes hydrogen, phenyl or phenylsulfonyl which may be substituted by halogen, methyl, amino or nitro, and R³ denotes unsubstituted or halogen-substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or benzyl, ##STR16## i. a phenyl carbamate of the formula ##STR17## where Y denotes hydrogen or methyl, R denotes methoxy, ethoxy, ##STR18## X denotes identical or different substituents such as halogen, haloalkyl, lower alkyl or methoxy, and n denotes one of the integers 0, 1, 2 and 3, or

j. a pyrazolium derivative of the formula ##STR19## where R denotes methyl, methoxy or p-methylphenyl and X denotes bromo, hydrogen, methoxy or methyl, or

k. the α-cyanoacrylate of the formula ##STR20## 1. an anilide of the formula ##STR21## where X denotes hydrogen, halogen, or methyl, n denotes one of the integers 0, 1 and 2, and R denotes alkyl or alkenyl, or

m. a 1,2,4-triazinone of the formula ##STR22## where X denotes hydrogen, methyl or trifluoromethyl and R¹ denotes methyl.

The compositions may contain one or more compounds of the formula a and/or compounds of the formulae b to m.

The amount used of the agents according to the invention may vary and depends in essence on the type of effect to be achieved; it is generally from 0.1 to 15 (and more), preferably from 0.2 to 6, kg per hectare of active ingredient. The agents according to the invention may be used once or several times before or after planting, before sowing, and before, during or after emergence of the crop plant and unwanted plants.

Application may be effected for instance in the form of directly sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions, (including high-percentage oily or aqueous suspensions) dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, broadcasting agents, or granules by spraying, atomizing, dusting, broadcasting or watering. The forms of application depend entirely on the purpose for which the agents are being used; in any case they should ensure a fine distribution of the active ingredient.

For the preparation of solutions, emulsions, pastes and oil dispersions to be sprayed direct, mineral oil fractions of medium to high boiling point, such as kerosene or diesel oil, further coal-tar oils, etc. and oils of vegetable or animal origin, aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, paraffin, tetrahydronaphthalene, alkylated naphthalenes and their derivatives such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, chlorobenzene, isophorone, etc., and strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, water, etc. are suitable

Aqueous formulations may be prepared from emulsion concentrates, pastes, oil dispersions or wettable powders by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes and oil dispersions the ingredients as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent may be homogenized in water by means of wetting or dispersing agents, adherents or emulsifiers. Concentrates which are suitable for dilution with water may be prepared from active ingredient, wetting agent, adherent, emulsifying or dispersing agent and possibly solvent or oil.

Examples of surfactants are: alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts of ligninsulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acids, phenolsulfonic acids, alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, and alkyl sulfonates, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, lauryl ether sulfate, fatty alcohol sulfates, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of fatty acids, salts of sulfonated hexadecanols, heptadecanols, and octadecanols, salts of sulfonated fatty alcohols glycol ether, condensation products of sulfonated naphthalene and naphthalene derivatives with formaldehyde, condensation products of naphthalene or naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctylphenol, ethoxylated octylphenol and ethoxylated nonylphenol, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, tributylphenol polyglycol ethers, alkylaryl polyester alcohols, isotridecyl alcohols, fatty alcohol ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, ethoxylated polyoxypropylene, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetal, sorbitol esters, lignin, sulfite waste liquors and methyl cellulose.

Powders, dusts and broadcasting agents may be prepared by mixing or grinding the active ingredients with a solid carrier.

Granules, e.g., coated, impregnated or homogeneous granules, may be prepared by bonding the active ingredients to solid carriers. Examples of solid carriers are mineral earths such as silica gel, silicic acid, silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin, Attaclay, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground plastics, fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, and urea, and vegetable products such as grain flours, bark meal, wood meal, and nutshell meal, cellulocis powders, etc.

The formulations contain from 0.1 to 95, and preferably 0.5 to 90, % by weight of active ingredient.

There may be added to the compositions or individual active ingredients (if desired, immediately before use (tankmix)) oils of various types, wetting agents or adherents, herbicides, fungicides, nematocides, insecticides, bactericides, trace elements, fertilizers, antifoams (e.g., silicones), growth regulators, antidotes and other herbicidally effective compounds such as

The last-mentioned herbicidal compounds may also be applied before or after the compositions according to the invention.

These agents may be added to the compositions according to the invention in a ratio by weight of from 1:10 to 10:1. The same applies to oils, fungicides, nematocides, insecticides, bactericides, antidotes and growth regulators.

The new compositions have a strong herbicidal action and may therefore be used as weedkillers or for controlling the growth of unwanted plants. Whether the new active ingredients are used as total or selective agents depends in essence on the amount of ingredient used per unit area.

By weeds and unwanted plant growth are meant all monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants which grow in loci where they are not desired.

EXAMPLE 3

In the open, various plants were treated at a growth height of from 4 to 17 cm with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as suspensions or dispersions:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

Ii: o-(isopropylaminosufonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide,

each at rates of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 kg/ha;

I'II and I+III, each at rates of 0.25+0.75, 0.75+0.25 and 0.5+0.5 kg/ha,

and additionally 2 l/ha of a spreader (adduct of 6 to 7 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of isooctylphenol).

After 2 to 3 weeks it was ascertained that the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 6

An agricultural plot was sown with various seeds. The soil was then immediately treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as dispersions or emulsions:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide

Iv: 2,3-dichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiocarbamate

V: 2,3,3-trichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiolcarbamate

Vi: 2-ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-benzofuranylmethane sulfonate

Viii: 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-ethoxybenzofuran-5-yldimethylamino sulfonate

Ix: ethyl N-ethyl-N-cyclohexylthiolcarbamate,

each at rates of 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5 and 6 kg/ha;

I+iii+iv, i+iii+v, i+iii+vi, i+iii+viii and I+III+IX,

each at rates of 1+1+1, 2+1+1, 1+2+1, 1+1+2, 1.5°1.5°1.5, 3+1+1, 1+3+1, 1+1+3 and 2+2+2 kg/ha;

and for comparison

X: n-(4-chlorophenyl)-N',N'-dimethylurea, 3 and 5 kg/ha;

I+ii+x 1+1+3 kg/ha.

After 4 to 5 weeks it was ascertained that the compositions I+III+IV, I+III+V, I+III+VI, I+III+VIII and I+III+IX had better crop tolerance than the composition I+II+X, combined with the same weed control.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 7

In the greenhouse, various plants were treated at a growth height of from 2 to 16 cm with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as dispersions, emulsions and tankmixes:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

Ii: o-(isopropylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide,

Xii: 3-methoxycarbonylaminophenyl-N-(3'-methylphenyl)-carbamate

Xiii: 3-(n-m-trifluoromethylphenylcarbamoyloxy)-(p-methylphenyl)-methylcarbamate

Xiv: 3-(n-m-methylphenylcarbamoyloxy)-acetoacetic acid anilide

Xv: 4-chlorobutyn-2-yl-1-N-3-chlorophenylcarbamate

Xvi: methyl α-chloro-β-(4-chlorophenyl)-propionate

Xvii: 1,2-dimethyl-3,5-diphenylpyrazolium methyl sulfate

each at rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 kg/ha;

I+iii+xii, i+iii+xiii, i+iii+xiv,

each at rates of 0.5+0.5+0.5, 1+0.5+0.5, 0.5+1+0.5, and 0.5+0.5+1 kg/ha;

Ii+xii, ii+xiii, ii+xiv, ii+xv, ii+xvi, ii+xvii, ii+xii, iii+xiii, iii+xiv, iii+xv, iii+xvi, iii+xvii,

each at rates of 1+0.5, 0.5+1, 0.5+0.5 and 1+1 kg/ha.

After 2 to 3 weeks it was ascertained that the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop tolerance.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 8

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as granules:

Ii: o-(isopropylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Xix: 1-m-trifluoromethylphenyl-4-methoxy-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

Xx: 1-m-trifluoromethylphenyl-4-dimethylamino-5-chloropyradazone-(6)

Xxi: 1-m-trifluoromethylphenyl-4-methylamino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

Xxii- o-(ethylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Xxiii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Xxiv: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid hexamethylene amide

Xxv: o-(ethylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid hexamethylene amide

Xxvi: o-(n-propylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid hexamethylene amide

Xxvii: 3-(ethylaminosulfonyloxyacetyl)-3-azabicyclo-[3,2,2]-nonane

each at rates of 0.25, 0.75, 0.25 and 1.5 kg/ha,

Xix+xxii, xix+xxiii, xix+xxiv, xix+xxv, xix+xxvi, xix+xxvii, xix+ii, xx+xxii, xx+xxiii, xx+xxiv, xx+xxv, xx+xxvi, xx+xxvii, xx+ii, xxi+xxii, xxi+xxiii, xxi+xxiv, xxi+xxv, xxi+xxvi, xxi+xxvii and XXI+II,

each at rates of 1.25+0.25, 0.25+1.25 and 0.75+0.75 kg/ha.

After 4 to 5 weeks it was ascertained that the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE9

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then treated with the following amounts of the following individual ingredients and compositions thereof as dispersions or emulsions:

Xxxv: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-bromopyridazone-(6)

Xxxvi: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Xxxvii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Xxxviii: ethyl N,N-diisobutylthiolcarbamate

each at rates of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 kg/ha;

Xxxv+xxxvi, xxxv+xxxvii, and XXXVIII+XXXVI,

EXAMPLE 10

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as granules:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

Ii: 0-(isopropylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Iii: 0-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide,

Xxxxii: ethyl N,N-di-n-propylthiolcarbamate

Xxxxiii: n-propyl N-ethyl-N-n-butylthiolcarbamate

each at rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 kg/ha;

I+ii+xxxii, i+ii+xxxxiii, i+iii+xxxxii and I+III+XXXXIII,

each at rates of 0.5+0.5+0.5, 1+0.5+0.5, 0.5+1+0.5 and 0.5+0.5+1 kg/ha;

Ii+xxxxii, ii+xxxxiii, iii+xxxxii and III+XXXXIII,

each at rates of 0.5+0.5, 1+0.5, 0.5+1 and 1+1 kg/has.

After 4 to 5 weeks it was ascertained that, at the low application rates, the compositions had a better weed control than their components, combined with the same crop tolerance. At the higher application rates, the crop tolerance was still good.

EXAMPLE 11

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as emulsions or dispersions:

Ii: o-(isopropylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide

Iv: 2,3-dichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiolcarbamate

V: 2,3,3-trichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiolcarbamate

Vi: 2-ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-benzofuranylmethane sulfonate

Vii: 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-ethoxybenzofuran-5-ylmethylamino sulfonate

Viii: 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-ethoxybenzofuran-5-yldimethylamino sulfonate

Ix: ethyl N-ethyl-N-cyclohexylthiolcarbamate

Xxxxvii: α,α-dichloropropionic acid, sodium salt

Xxxxviii: trichloroacetic acid, sodium salt,

each at rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 kg/ha;

Ii+iv, ii+v, ii+vi, ii+vii, ii+viii, ii+ix, iii+iv, iii+v, iii+vi, iii+vii, iii+viii, iii+ix, ii+xxxxvii, ii+xxxxviii, iii+xxxxvii, and III+XXXXVIII,

each at rates of 0.5+1, 1+0.5 and 0.5+0.5 kg/ha.

After 2 to 3 weeks it was ascertained that, at the lower application rates, the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility. At higher application rates the compatibility was still good.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 12

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as emulsions or dispersions:

Ii: o-(isopropylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Xxii: o-(ethylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Xxiii: o-(methylaminosulfinyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

Xxxxiv: ethyl β-(N-phenyl-N-methyl)-amino-α-cyanoacrylate

each at rates of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 kg/ha;

Xxxxiv+ii, xxxxiv+xxii, xxxxiv+xxiii,

each at rates of 0.25+0.75, 0.75+0.25, 0.5+0.5, 0.5+1, 1+0.5, 0.75+0.75, 0.5+1.5, 1.5+0.5, 1+1, 0.5+2.5, 2.5+0.5, 1.5+1.5, 1+2, 2+1 and 2+2 kg/ha.

After 4 to 5 weeks it was ascertained that, at the low application rates, the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility. The crop tolerance was still good at the higher application rates.

The results are given below:

I+iii+xxxxvi,

at rates of 0.25+0.25+0.5, 0.25+0.5+0.25, 0.5+0.25+0.25, 0.25+0.25+1.5, 0.25+1.5+0.25, and 1.5+0.25+0.25 kg/ha.

During the experiment the soil and plants were kept fairly dry.

After 2 to 3 weeks it was ascertained that, at the lower application rates, the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility. The crop tolerance at the higher application rates was still good.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 14

In the greenhouse, various plants were treated at a growth height of from 5 to 27 cm with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as emulsions or dispersions:

Xxiv: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid hexamethylene amide

Lvi: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid heptamethylene amide

Lviii: propionic acid-3,4-dichloroanilide

each at rates of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 kg/ha, + 4 l/ha of 11E oil⁺ )

Xxiv+lviii: 0.25+0.25, 0.5+0.5, 0.75+0.25, 0.25+0.75, 1+0.25, 0.25+1, 1+2, 2+1, 1+3, 3+1, 2+2, 1+0.5, 0.5+1, 0.75+0.75, 1+1, 0.5+1.5 1.5+0.5 and 1.5+1.5 kg/ha, +4 l/ha of 11E oil⁺ )

After 2 to 3 weeks it was ascertained that, at the lower application rates, the compositions had a better herbicidal action then their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility. The crop tolerance is still good at the higher application rates.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 15

In the greenhouse, various plants were treated at a growth height of from 3 to 18 cm with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as emulsions or dispersions:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 kg/ha;

Ii: o-(isopropylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-butyn-1-yl-3-anilide

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2 and 3 kg/ha

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2 and 3 kg/ha

Xxxii: benzamidooxyacetic acid

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2 and 3 kg/ha

Liv: n-methylacetanilido-d-isopropyl sulfite

0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 kg/ha

Ii+xxxii, and III+XXXII

each at rates of 0.25+0.75, 0.75+0.25, and 0.5+0.5 kg/ha

I+liv: 0.5+0.5, 1+1, and 1.5+1.5 kg/ha.

After 2 to 3 weeks it was ascertained that, at the lower application rates, the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility. The crop tolerance was still good at the higher application rates.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 16

In the greenhouse, various plants were treated at a growth height of from 3 to 18 cm with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as dispersions:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

0.5, 1, 1.5, 1.86, 2, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5 kg/ha,

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide

0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.33, 1.5, 1.66, 2, 3, 4 and 5 kg/ha,

Xxiv: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid hexamethylene amide,

0.25, 0.375, 0.5, 0.67, 0.725, 0.75, 0.834, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 3, 3.5 4 and 5 kg/ha,

EXAMPLE 19

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as emulsions or dispersions:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

0.5, 1, 1.5, 1.86, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5 kg/ha,

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide,

0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.33, 1.5, 1.66, 2, 3, 4 and 5 kg/ha,

Iv: 2,3-dichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiolcarbamate

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2 and 4 kg/ha,

Xxiv: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid hexamethylene amide,

0.25, 0.375, 0.5, 0.67, 0.725, 0.75, 0.834, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 and 5 kg/ha,

I+xxiv+iii: 1+0.5+0.5, 1.5+0.75+0.75, 2+1+1, 2+0.5+1.5, 1.86+0.375+0.75, 2.5+0.5+1, 3+0.725+1.25, 3+0.5+1.5, 2+0.67+1.33, 2.5+0.834+1.66 and 2+1+2 kg/ha,

I+xxiv+iv: 2+1+1, 2+1.5+0.5, 2+0.5+1.5, 1+0.5+0.5, 1+0.75+0.25, and 1+0.25+0.75 kg/ha.

After 4 to 5 weeks it was ascertained that the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with superior crop plant compabitility.

EXAMPLE 20

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as dispersions or emulsions:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6 kg/ha,

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6 kg/ha,

Iv: 2,3-dichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiolcarbamate

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2 and 4 kg/ha,

Xxxxvi: 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-ethoxybenzofuran-5-yl-N-methyl-N-acetylaminosulfonate

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 6 kg/ha,

I+iii+iv: 2+1+1, 2+1.5+0.5, 2+0.5+1.5, 1+0.5+0.5, 1+0.75+0.25, and 1+0.25+0.75 kg/ha,

0.5 and 2 kg/ha,

Lxiii: 1,2-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-4-methoxypyrazolium methylsulfate

0.5 and 2 kg/ha,

Ii+xxiv: 3.5+0.5, 3+1, 2.5+1.5 and 2+2 kg/ha,

Ii+xxv: 3.5+0.5, 3+1, 2.5+1.5 and 2+2 kg/ha,

II+LX: 1.5+0.5 kg/ha,

Ii+lxii: 1.5+0.5 kg/ha,

EXAMPLE 23

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as emulsions or dispersions:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 kg/ha,

Xxiv: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid hexamethylene amide,

0.25, 0.375, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 kg/ha,

Xxxxvi: 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-ethoxybenzofuran-5-yl-N-methyl-N-acetylaminosulfonate

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 kg/ha,

I+xxiv+xxxxvi: 2+1+1, 2+0.5+1.5, 2.5+0.5+1, 1+0.25+0.75, 1.5+0.375+1.125, 1.5+0.75+0.75, 0.5+0.25+0.25 and 1+0.5+0.5 kg/ha.

After 4 to 5 weeks it was ascertained that the compositions had a better herbicidal action than its components, combined with superior crop plant compatibility.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 26

In the greenhouse, various plants were treated at a growth height of from 3 to 17 cm with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as dispersions:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone(6),

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide

Lxi: 3-[n-isopropylaminosulfonyloxyacetyl]-3-azabicyclo-[3,2,2]-nonane,

each at rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 4 and 4.5 kg/ha,

I+iii+lxi: 0.5+0.5+0.5, 1+0.5+0.5, 0.5+1+0.5, 0.5+0.5+1, 2+1+1, 1+2+1, 1+1+2, 2.5+1.5+0.5, 0.5+2.5+1.5 and 1.5+0.5+2.5 kg/ha.

After 2 to 3 weeks it was ascertained that, at the lower application rates, the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility. At the high application rates, the compositions had a good herbicidal action and good crop tolerance.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 27

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as dispersions:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide

Lxi: 3-(n-isopropylaminosulfonyloxyacetyl)-3-azabicyclo-(3,2,2)-nonane

each at rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 4 and 4.5 kg/ha,

I+iii+lxi: 0.5+0.5+0.5, 1+0.5+0.5, 0.5+1+0.5, 0.5+0.5+1, 2+1+1, 1+2+1, 1+1+2, 2.5+1.5+0.5, 0.5+2.5+1.5 and 1.5+0.5+2.5 kg/ha.

After 4 to 5 weeks it was ascertained that, at the lower application rates, the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility. At the higher application rates the compositions provided good weed control and had good crop tolerance.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 28

In the greenhouse, various plants were treated at a growth height of from 2 to 12 cm with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as emulsions or dispersions:

Xii: 3-methoxycarbonylaminophenyl-N-(3'-methylphenyl)carbamate

Xiii: 3-(n-m-trifluoromethylphenylcarbamoyloxy)-(p-methylphenyl)-methylcarbamate

Lxi: 3-(n-isopropylaminosulfonyloxyacetyl)-3-azabicyclo-(3,2,2)-nonane

each at rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 kg/ha,

Xii+lxi and XIII+LXI, each at rates of 2+1, 1+2, 1.5+0.5 0.5+1.5 kg/ha.

After 2 to 3 weeks it was ascertained that, at the lower application rates, the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility. At the higher application rates, the compositions provided good weed control and had good crop tolerance.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 29

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then created with the following amounts of the following individual ingredients and compositions thereof as dispersions or emulsions:

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide

Xxiv: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid hexamethylene amide

Lxi: 3-(n-isopropylaminosulfonyloxyacetyl)-3-azabicyclo-(3,2,2)-nonane

Lxix: 3-methyl-4-amino-5H-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5-one

each at rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 kg/ha,

Iii+lxix, xxiv+lxix and LXI+LXIX

each at rates of 1+1, 1.5+0.5, 0.5+1.5, 1.5+1.5, 2+1 and 1+2 kg/ha.

After 4 to 5 weeks it was ascertained that, at the lower application rates, the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility. At the higher rates, the compositions had a strong herbicidal action.

The results are given below:

EXAMPLE 30

In the greenhouse, various plants were treated at a growth height of from 2 to 15 cm with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions therof as dispersions, emulsions or suspensions:

I: 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

Iii: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid-N-isopropylanilide

Xxiv: o-(methylaminosulfonyl)-glycolic acid hexamethylene amide

Lxi: 3-(n-isopropylaminosulfonyloxyacetyl)-3-azabicyclo-(3,2,2)-nonane

Lxix: 3-methyl-4-amino-5H-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5-one,

each at rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 kg/ha,

Iii+lxix, xxiv+lxix and LXI+LXIX

each at rates of 1+1, 1.5+0.5, 0.5+1.5, 1.5+1.5, 2+1 and 1+2 kg/ha.

After 2 to 3 weeks it was ascertained that, at the lower application rates, the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility. At the higher rates, the compositions had a strong herbicidal action and good crop tolerance.

The results are given below:
